Kenny it doesn’t matter that she can’t remember. 3 yrs ago when my wife’s dementia started I said I will never say “no” to her again. I thought I was doing that for her. Turns out that was the best thing I did FOR ME. I never get upset with her, try never to tell her that her recollection is inaccurate. I learned that she knows she can’t remember most things but I don’t need to confirm it. It’s easier on me too!! I wish you well.

Just love her while you have the opportunity.

KennyC. It is so hard......some days will be better than others. I listen to a podcast for caregivers by the University of South Florida by Eileen Poiley, (https://thealzheimerscaregiverpodcast.libsyn.com). I have found these very helpful for day to day insights and long term possible challenges. I also went to Second Hand Books and procured "The 36 Hour Day" (https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/54015/36-...). This has some very good information, just read what you need. Everyone is different. MyALZteam has been a very wonderful group. I will go to my first support group tomorrow, I found it by looking up Memory Cafes. I wish you Peace Kenny, I wish us all Peace..

I am almost 78 and I don’t go anywhere without my small notebook. It certainly helps. It’s like having a grocery list when you were going shopping. I have to write everything down and put post it notes everywhere so I can remember what I wanted or need to do. Frustrating but my short term memory is awful.

Have told her to write down thing so she want forget what she say, but she want do it. She say she’s not a kid. And people tell it’s not going to get any better. She been diagnosed with early stage of dementia. But when l did some reading on dementia she shows signs for different stages of dementia.
